Arthritis patients should take, twice a day (morning and night), a cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly, even chronic arthritis can be cured.
A research at the Copenhagen University observed doctors treating their patients with a mixture of 1 tbsp honey and 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder before breakfast. Within a week, out of the 200 people treated, 73 patients were totally relieved of pain; within a month, almost all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain. Arthritis patients should take, twice a day (morning and night), a cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly, even chronic arthritis can be cured.
I've been taking Ceylon cinnamon (sticks ground into a powder using my coffee grinder). I've been at it now for 2 1/2 weeks and I can tell a difference. My joints are not as stiff. I plan on doing this for a full 6 weeks and I'll report back with results.

So my cure turns out to be NO grains that is:
NO wheat, rice, oats, rye, corn
NO sugar - you knew this already
No processed foods this includes processed meats, sausages, bacon, pies et. al. we all know what those bad boys are, anything containing chemicals preservative etc. they don't belong in your body.
Its up to you. Try it - its not easy. A small price to pay to get you're life back tho.
Of course you may intolerant to something else find out yourself what that something is, your doctor has absolutely no idea, they are on the whole incompetent and unable to cure.
Good Luck

Borax
Imho, patience runs it a very close second place.
I too have recently started with Borax, as other users on this site looking for help, pushed by desperation & frustration in looking for a solution to relieve pain.
Stay with it. A positive mind approach is always another important factor. I'm fully aware as to how that sounds.
Stay with it. And, as always when you need help, ask Him the Lord above for His help and guidance. He brought/guided you to this site, didn't He?
He certainly brought me. And I'm very grateful.
White Vinegar

I got a mini plastic spray bottle and began spraying, and massaging with plain white vinegar 2 days ago. Within 2 days I began to be able to start cracking them and 2 that were sitting up seemed a bit better. However what was most remarkable, was 1 of them when I tried to bend sounded like crackling calcification. I kept doing it because I couldn't believe it. I continued hearing it. It's swollen however it's trying to sit back down. It's the middle finger and baby finger.

This is not a 'magic bullet': it only helps about 20% of arthritis sufferers. There are several types of arthritis, and this apparently helps my type. It's certainly more useful than the NSAIDs that were only masking the symptoms. I've experimented over the years, and the type or brand of flax oil doesn't matter, nor does the cottage cheese. I do recommend cold-rolled flax oil and not heat extracted, though. The cottage cheese acts as a surfactant, and makes the oil more water-soluble and able to penetrate the cell walls. In Germany Dr. Joanna Budwig used something called 'quark', and cottage cheese is the closest American equivalent. I use low-fat 2% cottage cheese since I'm older and less tolerant of milk fat.
I did another experiment to prove the effectiveness: I quit taking it and went 'cold turkey'. After 2 months, the arthritis returned. I stayed off for a few more months, just to make sure. Then I started taking one tablespoon of flax oil and one tablespoon of cottage cheese again, and 3 weeks later my arthritis was gone again. I duplicated the same experiment 4 years later, just to be doubly sure. Same results: 2 months of no dietary addition, and the arthritis came back, 3 weeks taking it and I'm cured again. Obviously you can skip a week or two while on vacation with little-or-no ill effect.
If you research the 'Budwig Cure', it was originally a solution for cancer, but it's not a 'magic bullet' for cancer, either. You don't need to blend the two as Dr. Budwig suggests; I take one and then the other and let my stomach do the mixing. I do chew the cottage cheese thoroughly to make sure it mixes well in the gut.

Cinnamon and Honey
Sure, I would take the 600mg capsules. Ceylon is perfectly safe. But, so is Cassia. It is the most commom cinnamon spice found at US grocery stores.
I want to take a minute and talk about Cassia cinnamon.
Cassia cinnamon has been used as a medicinal herb in China since 2700BC. It is the 4th most consumed spice on planet earth.
The link between Cassia, Coumarin, and Liver Damage
Though Coumarin is a natural ingredient, it carries a risk for causing “rare liver damage or failure in a small number of sensitive individuals” in large amounts. Cassia cinnamon has high levels (about 0.4-0.8%) of coumarin, those who “have a history of liver issues” and are taking Cinnamon on a daily basis for health reasons should switch to Ceylon Cinnamon, which only has 0.03-0.04% Coumarin. However, Cassia is used extensively in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In this regard, research varies from study to study on the suggested amount of Cassia cinnamon that may be consumed daily to avoid liver damage, ranging from less than 1-5 grams, or 1½ teaspoon a day. For those that consume more than this amount on a regular, daily basis; switching to Ceylon cinnamon may be a better option.
What would be a Lethal Dosage of Cassia Cinnamon
The median lethal dose of coumarin is set at 275 mg/kg of body weight, and there is only .31g – 6.97g of coumarin in each kg of Cassia cinnamon. So how much needs to be ingested for the average adult, weighing 195.5 lbs. for a minimum lethal dosage?
Answer: The average 195.5lb adult would need to consume roughly 3.5 kilos (123.459 oz) of Cassia Cinnamon to get the amount of coumarin in a day for the minimum lethal dosage. That's about 15 cups of Cassia cinnamon powder. That is insane. Most sane people won't do that. But, I'm sure some D.A. will try it. Hell, they eat tide laundry detergent pods….
This internet fear-mongering of the big brown cinnamon stick boggy monster is hugely over inflated and pointless. More people die from liver damage caused by Tylenol pills then do cassia cinnamon. Each year, about 4,500 people are hospitalizations in Canada occur due to acetaminophen overdose.
In fact, in my lifetime, I've personally seen 3 people die in their 50s from living on Tylenol for chronic pain issues and destroying their livers where, as ‘0' people dead from drinking cinnamon tea or taking cinnamon supplements.
This argument can be made for any prescription drug, OTC medicine or herbal supplement. It all depends on the “general health statis” of the individual take the drug. If you are in general good health, average weight (male 172lb female 144lb), eat healthy, your chances of an “adverse reaction” are slim to none. If you are taking prescription drugs or living on OTC's, then your odds increase. If you are totally dependent on drugs just to function daily and your over all health is poor, over weight, well then you are screwed… don't expect a miracle...
I found one case reported from 2015, From the American Journal of Case Reports
source: https://amjcaserep.com/abstract/index/idArt/892804
Case Report: A 73-year-old woman was seen in the Emergency Department complaining of abdominal pain associated with vomiting and diarrhea after she started taking cinnamon supplements for about 1 week (the report was not specific about which type of cinnamon she was taking). The patient had been taking statin for coronary artery disease for many months. The laboratory workup and imaging studies confirmed the diagnosis of hepatitis. The detail workup did not reveal any specific cause. Cinnamon and statin were held. A few weeks after discharge, the statin was resumed without any further complications. This led to a diagnosis of cinnamon-statin combination-induced hepatitis.
Conclusion: Don't mix cinnamon supplements with statin drugs. (note: she did not die, report does not mention that statins are known to cause liver damage – see more below)
I switch back and forth between ceylon are cassia depending on what I'm trying to achieve in the body. I find that cassia is more drying to the body which is great for mucus condition (i.e. wet cough, congestion in lungs, mucus in the digestive tract...).
Cassia cinnamon is Generally Recongized as Safe by the FDA.
CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 – Substances Generally Recongized as Safe

Note by Rob: Will I ever take a statin? Hell NO! And here is the reason why. Over 300 drugs are known to interact with statins.
Here are some side effects of statin drugs:
• muscle pain
• fatigue
• exercise intolerance (muscles too painful and weak to exercise)
• memory loss
• tingling, numbness or burning pain in limbs
• irritability
• sleep problems
• sexual dysfunction
• cancer
• stroke
• diabetes
• autoimmune diseases
• digestive problems
• kidney disease
• liver issues
• lung problems
• weight gain
and many more….

Borax
The rule of borax is
Women 1/8 spoon in 1 leter of water, drink through the day.
Men take 1/4 spoon in 1 leter of water, drink through the day.
Drink 1 bottle a day and stop on weekends so your body does not over load. Do this for supplements as well.
Borax really works, I am 71 and have no joint pain what so ever.
Try it, it works..

I had extreme pain in my hands like fire ice at night while sleeping. Couldn't move crying numb . Must have been parasites. I applied liquid ivermectin for cattle with dmso and instantly over a few days it began to cure. It came back many times and many times I did it again I started to do it daily and up my arms. Eventually, it never came back. This remedy would work in many places - neck, feet, stomach, back etc
good luck

From your query as to whether there is a replacement for cottage cheese in the cottage cheese/flaxseed mix, I assume you're interested in following Dr Budwig's protocol.
She does in the first instance recommend quark which is more refined than cottage cheese, e.g.no lumps. And I'm sure you're aware that quark/cottage cheese are a rich source of sulphur. Sulphur being highly recommended as a supplement if suffering from arthritis, and usually taken in the form of tablets/capsules. So cottage cheese/quark are essential for the Budwig Diet and I don't know of a substitute.
We've all got our likes and dislikes, but cottage cheese is so mild, so bland, I cannot quite understand anyone's aversion to it. And as Dr Budwig suggests the mixture can be sweetened with honey, fruit added, nuts, and added milled flaxseed.
I, too, suffer from arthritis, but kept reasonably well until four/five months ago when I had a massive flare-up of pain. Couldn't swear to it that it was arthritis, but the pain was so bad there were times when I didn't want to carry on living. However, sought help on Earth Clinic and tried this and that remedy, but they didn't really help the pain. Then 3rd July 2021 (I made a note of it in my diary) I started taking the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese mix, and within three days the pain was gone. It felt as though I was firing on all cylinders.
Now I cannot say with all certainty whether it was due to the flaxseed mix, I think it was, but who can say, I'm just grateful. I'm not entirely pain free, but I can cope with the bit of pain I have, and I'm back to doing my beloved walking. Also, I now take one cup of Kefir a day, plus a healthy diet.
I wish you well on your journey.

Turmeric
My new favorite way of taking turmeric is in a liquid supplement I found at Costco. Qunol. I have seen it on Amazon, too. It does have the black pepper in it, but you can't taste it. Not sure how they got turmeric so palatable, but I got my 11 year old to take some today without batting an eye.
I had been taking turmeric capsules, but I have found this liquid turmeric to be more effective for joint pain.

Won't get started on another story, but if you go back in the EC archives, all my DMSO tales are there when the Bogalusa, La. Paper Mill made DMSO from their black liquor. It is now made from methane gas in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Even Ted Kennedy could not get DMSO accepted with his congressional hearings way back when. He could not stand up to Big Pharma. $ has always talked and it does so today.
If all think we have health problems now, just wait until Gen 5 is up and going. You will be living in a micro wave constantly. Just think of that microwave cartoon many years ago of that bubbly melting face in the door. That will be me and you. Is life grand or what?

I have tried this 'cure' with good results. It is hard to remove all nightshades but you notice when you have had some the next day (pain). Remove all foods of the nightshade family for six weeks and you will know! There is a link with vitamin d3 (sunlight) and consuming nightshades. Resource: http://noarthritis.com/research.htm
